From Bahrain to the Global Cybersecurity Stage: CTM360 Earns Recognition in Gartner’s Inaugural CTI Magic Quadrant™

For more than a decade, Bahrain-based cybersecurity company CTM360 has quietly built technology designed to map, monitor, and mitigate external cyber threats across the digital landscape. The company has now reached a milestone that reflects its growing presence in the global cybersecurity sector.

CTM360 has been recognized among 17 vendors featured in Gartner®’s inaugural Magic Quadrant™ for Cyberthreat Intelligence Technologies (CTI), a report that evaluates companies based on their Ability to Execute and Completeness of Vision.

The recognition positions CTM360 alongside some of the cybersecurity industry’s most established global players, a notable achievement for a company that originated in Bahrain and has grown without external funding.

The Gartner Magic Quadrant™ is widely regarded as one of the technology industry’s most influential research frameworks, often shaping enterprise buying decisions and defining leadership categories across emerging technology markets. Gartner’s launch of a dedicated Magic Quadrant™ for Cyberthreat Intelligence Technologies reflects the increasing importance of threat intelligence as governments, enterprises, and critical infrastructure operators confront increasingly complex cyber risks.

CTM360’s inclusion reflects both recognition of the company and broader developments in the global cybersecurity landscape. Founded over 10 years ago, CTM360 focuses on external threat visibility, digital risk protection, and cyber threat intelligence. The company reports that it now serves customers in more than 100 countries, helping organizations identify exposed assets, impersonation risks, attack surface vulnerabilities, and cybercriminal activity targeting their brands and infrastructure.

According to Gartner, one of CTM360’s differentiators is its “focus on regulated industries and national-level sector mapping,” capabilities that have become increasingly important as governments seek greater visibility into national cyber exposure and sector-wide threats.

For Founder and CEO Mirza Asrar Baig, the recognition represents the culmination of a decades-long ambition to build globally competitive technology from the region.

“I started this journey nearly 30 years ago with the ambition to help transform the region from consumers of technology into globally recognized producers of innovation,” Baig said. “CTM360 has made that vision a reality, but we still have a long way to go as we continue innovating for the future threat landscape and scaling globally through AI.”

The company’s rise has also been shaped by Bahrain’s growing technology ecosystem, which has increasingly positioned itself as a regional hub for fintech, cloud infrastructure, and cybersecurity innovation. CTM360 credits Bahrain’s leadership, regulatory environment, and innovation-focused policies for helping create conditions where globally scalable technology companies can emerge.

As cyber threats evolve, including AI-enabled attacks, geopolitical activity, and broader digital attack surfaces, Cyber Threat Intelligence is receiving greater attention from enterprises worldwide.

CTM360 may be well positioned to respond to that shift as it continues expanding internationally. The company has recently participated as a Bronze Sponsor at FIRST Conference 2026 in Denver, one of the cybersecurity industry’s leading global collaboration forums.
